✨ Key Features

🎥 Professional Camera Movements

Forget static views. The plugin automatically switches between various cinematic perspectives to keep the visuals engaging:

• Orbit: Smoothly circles around players or targets.
• Flyby: Simulates a drone flying past the subject.
• Crane: Vertical sweeping shots perfect for architectural builds.
• Dynamic: A "spring-arm" tracking shot that smooths out player movements.
• Scenic Mode: Captures the landscape itself when no players are around.

🤖 Fully Automated

• Auto-Rotation: Cycles through online players automatically.
• Smart Targeting: If no players are online, it intelligently switches to spectating mobs or scenic views.
• Smooth Transitions: No jarring cuts. The camera interpolates positions smoothly when switching targets.
• Persistence: The cameraman's state is saved and restored even after server restarts or disconnects.

🛠️ For Server Admins & Streamers

• Zero Interaction Required: Once set, the cameraman runs indefinitely.
• Configurable: Adjust speeds, distances, and active modes to fit your server's style.
• Optimized: Designed to run efficiently on Paper servers.
